Since the device has the correct class, there is no need to add any
ids for driver binding to happen.

The thread never got to a point where things were working, so things
are pretty much where they were three years ago.

You're seeing CRC errors, which is very different from the problems
previously reported. You're also having some good transfers before
things go south, so it isn't a general problem with data transfers.

The transfer that fails is the first one that is multi-block though.
Try modifying sdhci_add_host() and set mmc->max_blk_count to 1.

For the mmc_test run, it fails on a single block transfer though. But
all subsequent commands time out so I wonder if your card is a bit
crappy. Have you tried with any others?
